Hi all,<br>
<br>
Here are the references to Ruth Wilson Gilmore's and Achille Mbembe's<br>
work that I promised to send re: yesterday's discussion on structural<br>
violence and disposability:<br>
<br>
"Premature death" <br>
-- comes from Wilson Gilmore's 2007 book, "Golden Gulag: Prisons,<br>
Surplus, Crisis, and Opposition in Globalizing California [1]", where<br>
she defines structural racism as "state-sanctioned or extralegal<br>
production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to<br>
premature death"<br>
<br>
"Necropolitics" by Mbembe<br>
-- "sovereignty means the capacity to define who matters and who does<br>
not, who is disposable and who is not" (from 2003 article [2] in the<br>
section on "Necropower and Late Modern Colonial Occupation")<br>
-- further elaborated in 2019 book [3]<br>
<br>
This also resonates with what Murrey and Mollett write in their article,<br>
"Extraction is not a metaphor: Decolonial and Black Geographies against<br>
the gendered and embodied violence of extractive logics [4]"<br>
-- "Extractivisms, as enmeshed logic and material practice, preclude and<br>
foreclose certain futures and foster a socio-economic context in which<br>
people are compelled to buy into extractivism as the only possible<br>
future. Political ecologists thus write about the attritional violence<br>
of extraction, in which 'death-worlds' are created where people are<br>
subject to physical and psychological threats of imminent death."<br>
<br>
See you at the next session,<br>
Janna<br>
